"black" friday

i got up around 5:30, couldn't sleep. spent several hours trying to catch up on emails, sitting down in the living room in multiple sweaters.

after seth walked diana around the block, we decided to drive into downtown evanston to get some coffee at pete's. peppermint mocha, wtf.

home again, i dropped di and seth off and took off for the highway. stopped at the tile outlet on fullerton to et one more box of tile for the surround of the fireplace. from there, i went out to pulaski for an acupuncture appointment with unsoo. she worked on the small of my back, trying to figure out why portions of my feet are still numb from my bike trip in may and june. generally things got better. it was a good experience. my abdomen is something different something.

from there, i got back on the highway. talked to nina who wanted to reschedule today's hang-out for sunday, which is fine, and my dad called with computer questions, so i opted to go straight out to the folks' house to play IT guy.

i reset the passwords for the various TBM office accounts, and sorted a bunch of stuff for the upcoming subscription season.

dad started a fire and we hung out in the living room a bit, i was wrestling casey the dog.

i took a trunk full of split oak, and headed home.

di didn't feel well, and spent the evening in bed. i drew a bit on the poster (very late) for next week's show in manchester. answered more emails, caulked some of the new trim and mudded a couple of missed spots in the plaster. did four loads of laundry. made a mix CD for my cousin jack (see yesterday's dinner) while drawing. got some new ideas for the patagonia projects.

11pm, going to bed. okay, fine.
